IN order to prove that the late Mr.. Goldman,

could not attend he was accustomed to retire to

he was participating in her pleasures presuma-
bly, strengthening the delusion by walrzing
about with chair, though .his is not alleged.
In any other part of the country such conduct
would be strongly suggestive of insanity. but ia
it so in the case of Boston mani There is no

of snakes in Ireland, that there ghosts
in America: they can merely declare that lit
tie has been done by them in the spectacular
line this year. The society, however, does
not intend to drop the matter here. 1t means
to chase Mr. Ghost to his lair, if that be on
top of ground. Dropping for the present all
hope of meeting one of the elusive be-
ings face to face, the endeavor during
the coming year viii be to gather data relat-
ing to ghosts who. though invisible, manifest
themselves by voice, or touch. or mysterious
influence. In order to secure the information
the society addresses series of questions to
the public at large. If any individual has
reason to believe that he has been touched or
spoken 20 by a spirit, or has felt the presence
Of one who was not visible, he is requested to
at No. Boylston street, Boston, without
delay Furthermore. if he has had what he
believes to be significant Dreams dreams that
have either Ecome true" or have made deep
impression on his mind, he is asked to forward
particulars to the same place.
The first year sresearch indicates that COM
paratively few people actually see ghosts,
but there is reason to suspect that vast
number of persons will be ready to aver that
they commune with them in sleep. Atleast.
there is doubt that multitude of people
dream impressive dreams AS it is much
more agreeable to believe that these are pro-
duced bv supernatural causes rather than by
pie, it is probable that No. Boylston street
will soon be deluged with psychological lore.
If at the end of the year the society has not at
least produced a scientific dream book, if not
a treatise on ghosts, the public will have
right to be disappointed.

THERE is proposition now pending in the
City Council, introduced by Mr.. Simeon Coy,
to buy ground adjoining the station-house on
South Alabama street for the purpose of
erecting thereon buildings for the city Offices.
The proposition belongs to that class of
schemes which ara apt to appear in very
quiet way, and in very innocent garb, and
which sometimes slip through Councils with
out much discussion. In fact, it bears every
appearance of job and should be promptly
suppressed. If new Offices are needed they
can be provided at comparatively little ex-
pense by clearing out the meat and huckster
stands on the first floor of Tomlinson Hall
and fitting that up for the purpose. Or, if
that is not deemed desirable, there is ample
room for new city Offices OF the vacant ground
already owned by the city esst Of the market
house, on the same squar.. The idea of buy
ing ground on South Alabama street for city
offices is absurd, and the proposition bears
the marks of job on its face, or Of super
saturated idiocy.

NEXT Wednesday Is the day on which
faithful New Englanders celebrate the landing
of the Pilgrim Fathers on their stern and
rock-bound coast. Il is distinctively New
England celebration, for although it is oh.
served in all parts of the country it is appro-
priated by native Yankees as peculiarly their
own, and there is visible resentment at any
attempt on the part of Westerners whose
ancestors arrived later to share in
the rejoicing on equal terms. They are per-
mitted to look on, and even to participate,
but as a privilege not as right. Your
typical New Englander, although he may
not be able to trace his ancestry in direct
line to one of the straight backed and right
eous Mayfower immigrants, nevertheless
feels family interest in that colony, which
is the next thing to actual kinship, and which
he is convinced that no one born west Of the
Hudson can properly entertain. However,
the Westerner bears the Yankee brethren no
grudge. He does not concern himself with
ancestors to any great degree, and
the monopoly Of the Plymouth Rock fore
fathers by the people Of that region does not
disturb him. But whether his own progen-
itors swere Puritans, vi ether they came to
this land of liberty at more recent period,
or whether he is only citizen by adoption,
the true American can but rejoice that those
pioneers did come, and that they were worthy
to found great nation. The New England
ers may engage in active celebration of the
event. hut they will not do SO without the

CHRISTIAN MUsCULARITY

Mr.. Ben Hogan breaches a sound doctrine
when he tells his hearers that they would have
better health if they took proper care of their
bodies, and that they can usually recover their
health quite as readily at home as by seeking
change of climate. If he had added that they
would be better Christians if they were in
good health he would have expressed another
great truth. Mr.. Hogan, owing, perhaps, to
his early training is considerable of an enthu-
siast on the subject of physical development,
and his views as to the time and attention
which should be given to the matter can
hardly be put into practice by most busy men.
There is no doubt, however, that the bodily
welfare is greatly neglected by the majority
of persons in sedentary occupations, and that
more care given to it even at the expense of
time would be repaid by the consequent
increase of vigor and energy. This subject
has been written and preached upon until it
is hackneyed, but while there is an increased
interest in it comparatively few put the ideas
into practice, however strongly they may be
convinced of their value and importance.
Several causes may account for this, but
the chief one perhaps arises from the general
impression that severe and active exercise
must at once be engaged in by the health
seeker. Naturally the man whose muscles
are weak from disuse feels disincination to
this. The inconvenience, also, and some
times the impossibility of going to a gym
nasium at stated times operates against the
carrying out of the theories. When it comes
to be understood that only that exercise is
proper which the weakened system can bear
with comfort and that much can be accom-
plished without the aid OF bars, swings,
dumbb bells and other pharaphernalia of the
sort, but by light gymnastics practiced in
private, by bathing and careful diet, more
persons will consider the matter seriously.
The average man will hardly think it advis-
able to follow Mr.. Hogan's advice to its fullest
extent but some of his suggestions certainly
deserve attention

THE PsYoHICAL SOCIETY AND GHOSTS.

IhE ES4Uh4UA1 EUU1EI4 AMI ddUSIS.
The American Society for psychical
research is an organization formed for the
purpose of scientifically investigating spirit
phenomena. If disembodied spirits really
make themselves known to that part of man
kind still trammeled by the bonds Of flesh, the
society means to find it out. IF there are
ghosts, its intention is to see them walk, or,
failing in this, to take the testimony of
respectable persons who have met them. IF
the spirits manifest themselves to other
senses than that of sight they must have
positive proof; if they come in dreams, that
fact must be demonstrated. No vague
hearsay evidence will be accepted. None but
genuine ghosts need apply; all others may rest
assured that their false pretenses will be dis
covered and exposed by q society which is
swayed not by sentiment and superstition, but
by sense and science. What the Investigators
want are facts from which they may draw con-
clusions concerning the character and habits
Of ghosts class. Having illuminated the
mbject with the cold, clear light of intel
lectual truth, they will present the results to
the public and then remove forever the dense
veil of mystery which has hitherto surrounded
the shadowy visitants from another world.
This is what the society means to do. AS
yet is has caught and dissected no ghosts.
Last year, the first cs systematic work, the
scientists industriously followed the trail of
apparitions. Now, whether it is popularity
of a visiting spirit to object to professional
nterviewers, or whether, being creature of
reserved disposition and with no taste for gen.
sral society, he avoids chance acquaintances,
the fact remains that not once, in the course
of a year, did single spectre exhibit him
self to the persons sosr1esirous of meeting
him.
Many times, as the children have it, the
trail became hot. Time and again ghost
was heard of in the next county, but, the next
county reached, it was universally found that
ne had abandoned his haunts and retired to
other fields without leaving his address Odd
Iy enough, too, no person could be discovered
who was willing to take his ''Bible oath" that
be had seen or talked with visitor from the
next world. AS may be supposed, the annual
report of the society is not conclusive OF any
thing, and therefore not otsentirely satisfactory.
